One of dance music’s most enigmatic figures returns home to Anjunabeats.
GRAMMY-nominated producer Mat Zo is back with a brand new artist album set for release in October: ‘Illusion of Depth’.
At the age of 30, this is the London-born, L.A.-based producer’s third artist LP.
He broke onto the scene in 2008 and has been causing an uproar ever since. In the early naughties, he penned Anjunabeats classics like ‘The Lost’ and ‘Synapse Dynamics’ which were far ahead of their time. They were followed by the likes of ‘Superman’, ‘The Sky’ and ‘Rebound’ (with Arty). He pushed the Anjunabeats sound to the mainstage, racking up spins from Pete Tong, Axwell and Armin van Buuren.
It was his GRAMMY-nominated debut album ‘Damage Control’ that fully showcased Mat’s avant-garde approach in 2013. Featuring break-out hit ‘Easy’ with close friend Porter Robinson, the track took Mat mainstream: a Radio 1 A-List addition, Sirius XM BPM listing, a #1 Billboard Heatseeking record, an Essential Mix of the year nomination and, ultimately, a GRAMMY nod for best dance and electronic recording.
Since then, Mat has grown his own stable. Self-releasing his second LP in 2016, ‘Self Assemble’, via Mad Zoo, Mat’s imprint nurtured a new generation of eclectic, genre-agnostic creators.
He’s stayed close with Anjunabeats through that time, joining Above & Beyond for shows at Madison Square Garden and Huntington Beach and Anjunabeats label shows around North America.
We come full circle with ‘Illusion of Depth’, a modern homage to the sounds that made him a star.
“I started working on 'Illusion of Depth' because I wanted to make a body of work that was cohesive. I’m usually known for being all over the place, but I wanted to make an album that had unifying qualities. In this case, partly it’s the tempo. Everything on the album is in the 124-128 bpm range, but within that constraint I still managed to be all over the place stylistically. There’s also a lot more live/non-digital elements on this album than my previous work. I was getting really tired of how clean everything is in this corner of dance music. Above all else I wanted to make an album with grit, texture and attitude. I wanted to make a fuck you statement to the safe, sugary, fluffy world of post EDM trance.”
“A big part of the conception of the album came from working with Olan. She's a highly skilled singer, songwriter and producer and we've known each other for years. We had been in the studio working on a bunch of material before this, and that helped us grow a common musical identity. When it came to writing this album we were already comfortable with each other. This allowed the songs on the album to be honest, opposed to a bunch of toplines plastered on top of already formed tracks. Every song we wrote together is personal, sincere, and holds a lot of meaning for both of us.” - Mat Zo
Prepare for another helter-skelter trip through a pick-n’-mix of styles. ‘Illusion of Depth’ begins with the brash ‘In Media Res’. Next, it’s Zo’s ode to 90’s warehouse techno: ‘The Next Chapter’ featuring legendary jungle/D&B MC GQ. Then, all of a sudden, ‘Love Songs’ and some French, filter house.
The album introduces Atlanta-based Olan, a singer and producer that Mat has worked with for a number of years. There’s a nod to classic rave culture and the Chemical Brothers with her vocals on ‘Problems’ while closing track ‘Begin Again’ is a cinematic rock crescendo.
‘Illusion of Depth’ will be released via Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats imprint on the 9th of October 2020.
‘Problems’, the new single is out on Friday, July 24.

Mat Zo is here to help us deal with all our problems 🔥♥️♥️
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💟
ME LLAMO BENJA ♥️😍
Reminds me a bit of the chemical brothers and I love it. Mat Zo is one of the greats.
Yes! Bros. That what i heard. Thanks man.
Agreed... It's between "Hey Boy Hey Girl" and "Setting Sun"
Absolutely spot on!
literally just posted a comment asking if anyone else caught it too!!! serendipitous!
Absolutely in love with direction Mat Zo decided to go for this album, can't wait for release
Mat Zo is so underrated
He is. He was such a prolific producer that he bounced off Anjunabeats and made his own label, but he appears to me also to not be a huge promoter, which seems why Mad Zoo didn't take off the way everyone expected it to. The guy is a musical genius the same way Andrew Bayer is, but he isn't celebrated the same way Andrew is.
@@tommywhite1507 i like actually didnt know about mad zoo Wow! I was a huge mat zo fan but i started listening to alot of rock 5 years ago. Now im back to bangin my head to electro and started looking up the greats. Thanks for the info tommy! Btw i cant give you alot of recommendations as ive been off the scene for a long time but check out electric drugs by dj half i really like it
people keep saying that since 2013
this isn't my typical genre but damn i'm in love
I play this song for people who want to know what drugs feel like
This vocal is so haunting. Would love to see a breakdown of this track, Mat Zo and Olan!
Is the vocal from a sample? It sounds so familiar
@@Shrimp0kUgel the vocal is Olan singing! Extreme talent. Beautiful.
Yes I know the lyrics contain the word backwards but I also feel like this track is organized backwards, with the intro being last and the outro being in the beginning.
Well that's just great; Now when people ask me about Mat Zo, I have to add "acid" to the absurdly long list of genres he's superlative at writing/producing.
I wished people asked me about Mat Zo
The beat reminds me of need for speed carbon garage oddly enough
anyone else get chemical brother's hey girl hey boy vibes from this? around 2:20
Fuck this bumps lol I been blasting this all day
Yep. Another banger. Thanks Mr. Zo!
this not a new track....this is a new genre....
What's the sample used for the vocals?
I love the meaning of this song and the beat that goes with it
epic Tune, one of these Best of electronic music 2020 !
Can we remove that first 2.5 minutes?
My neighbors are gonna fucking hate this song

Why?
Exceptional work, bang back on form.

banger
Tame Impala + The Chemical Brothers = Mat Zo - Problems
plus a little bit of Eric Prydz
For me, it also reminds a bit the Benassi's Pump-kin style
🔥
